The pond is about four meters wide and seven or eight meters long. The running water slowly flows in from the hole at the base of the wall along a ditch dug, and then flows out from the other end. The ditch is very shallow, and the bottom is paved with stones. Width, just lift your feet and step over.

Song Hongguo's mind has already begun to think about what kind of flowers and plants to plant on both sides of the ditch. She also needs to plan carefully around the pond. At the moment, in addition to a circle of stones, there are two large bushes of winter jasmine facing the direction of the gate. , at this moment, some bright yellow flowers bloomed sporadically, and they were somewhat charming.

Around the pond, there are two persimmon trees, also on the central axis of the yard. The main trunks are so thick that one person can't carry them. You can imagine that in summer, when the green leaves are shaded, you can sit on the stone bench below to enjoy the coolness and drink tea. It couldn't be more pleasant.

Continuing to walk inside, there are nine houses surrounded by a rectangular shape. The space in the middle is also very spacious. With the passage left, two small flower beds can be created. Between the main house and the east and west bungalows, At the corner, a clump of bamboo and a wintersweet tree were planted respectively. The wintersweet blossoms have faded, and only a few flowers remain with lingering fragrance. However, the bamboo is lush and green, swaying in the wind.

There are very few houses in the area that are built in the finished shape. They are all square and square, which looks neat. However, the side rooms on both sides can easily block the lighting of the main house. It is better to have the current design, which looks bright and transparent. .

The three main rooms, including the front building, are about two meters wide and three stories high. They are all paved with large bluestones, making them look heavy and solid.

Song Hongguo walked around, like a king patrolling his territory. Turning around such a big yard, her feet were a little swaying. It was completely ideal in the world. That's it. She didn't even bother to measure the backyard. The backyard was also It’s not small either. I’ve planted several fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and raised chickens and ducks…

"Host, are you so excited that you want to faint?" The voice of the system was equally excited, "A beautiful life is waving to you. Your ideal pastoral is just around the corner, so why are you dawdling? Roll up your sleeves and work hard!"

Stimulated by the system's brainwashing voice, which sounded like a pyramid scheme leader, Song Hongguo instantly regained consciousness and calmed down. No matter how good the fantasy was in her mind, it would be useless without actual actions.

She took off her military coat, took out an old dress from the sack and put it on. She found a big piece of cloth from the ones she bought yesterday, wrapped her hair and even her mouth and nose. She was fully armed and rolled up her sleeves. Start cleaning.

In the main room, Zhao Zhenhua tied a broom made of sorghum millet to a long bamboo pole and started sweeping dust from the roof, purlins, main beams, and then to the walls on all sides. The windows in the north and south were all open. Dust flies in the sun.

After he finished cleaning a room and the dust in the room fell, Qiao Yonghui stepped on a high wooden shelf, wetted a few rags, and wiped the wood bit by bit. The wood was wiped out, revealing the beautiful texture. There is also the natural color of persimmon lacquer. The more sunlight shines on it, the brighter and richer the color becomes.

His movements were skillful, and it looked like he was used to it. Song Hongguo recalled what Zhao Zhenhua had told her. Qiao Yonghui was learning carpentry from Uncle Cheng in private, so it was not surprising that he would help with cleaning. After all, if the master had something to do, the disciple would obey him. .

He wiped the roofs and walls high up, while Song Hongguo wiped the doors, windows and earthen kangs that could be reached. The two little guys also helped, and they worked more energetically than she did.

In addition to the thick and spacious walls of these three main rooms, there is another thing that makes Song Hongguo very satisfied, that is, the doors and windows are very particular, made of old elm wood, with low-key patterns on the lattice frame, and even leave space for installation. The most important thing about the glass gap is that it is large. In order to keep out the cold in winter, the windows these days are made very small, usually about one meter, and then covered with paper, the room is often dark and depressing. But not here.

The windows in the east and west rooms were about one and a half meters, and they were two in the north and south. They were better ventilated and more open. She had thought about it. There was a desk under the south window, where she could sit there drinking tea and reading. When she raised her head, she could enjoy the view of the front yard. The flowers and plants, if you lie on the kang, will just look at the vegetable garden and fruit trees in the backyard.

While cleaning the Tukang, she also discovered a surprise. The kang hole in the east room is connected to the stove in the main room outside. In winter, when you boil water on the stove for cooking, the kang can be heated up. The stove plate is also exquisite, a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western styles. If you use a round discus to block the opening above and open the small iron door on the front, it will look like a fireplace. Seal the iron door and open the top, which is a clay stove commonly used by locals.

While Song Hongguo was cleaning it, she was thinking about how to make it more beautiful. The surface of the yellow mud was still too rough, and ceramic tiles are not available nowadays. It would look better to use stones as wallpaper and paste it around it.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. She had even turned her attention to the walls inside the house. Should they also be decorated with stones, or covered with reed mats, or painted in retro green?

And the ground, no matter how solid the Sanhe soil is, if you step on it for a long time, it will inevitably have some bumps. Should she pave it with blue bricks or plaster it with cement?

In fact, she likes wooden floors the most, especially since the roof is also covered with a layer of wooden boards. Wouldn’t it complement each other even more if the upper and lower floors echo each other?Then there are doors and windows that are the icing on the cake...

"Are you getting more and more confused?" The system suddenly appeared again.

Song Hongguo's thoughts were interrupted and she said angrily, "Can you stop being so elusive? You're not afraid of scaring me out."

The system snorted, "Who told you to indulge in fantasy?"

"I was making plans. Aren't you also eager to let me renovate the old house to earn more points?"

Upon hearing this, the system suddenly asked mysteriously, "Do you want to enable the comment function?"

"Ok?"

"As for the videos you took, after they are posted online, many people will leave comments and express their opinions. Do you want to see them? You can interact with them."

Song Hongguo was not very interested, "Does it cost points? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"You must have had enough points before."

"Is that enough for now?"

"...I guess it will be enough after the footage shot today is uploaded."

"You are confident, but unfortunately, I don't want to." Guess she knew that opening the comment function would consume a lot of points, so she didn't think it was necessary.

The system was puzzled, "Why don't you want to? It's so interesting to comment on talents since ancient times! It can bring you a lot of joy..."

"It may also bring me anxiety." Song Hongguo interrupted, not being bewitched by it. The comment section often said anything. Although she was not a glass-hearted person, seeing too many negative things would also affect her mood, wouldn't it?

The system wanted to persuade again, but Song Hongguo changed the topic, "Is there a live broadcast function?"

"...Yes, live broadcast requires more points and interaction with the broadcaster."

"That's it."

"..."
